Xbox PC Xbox App/pc Modding - Annoucement Packs

Hello there,
If anyone mods on the Microsoft store/Xbox App on PC please assist!
I've only been recently getting into the modding community as someone released a branding and signage pack with the LNWR livery. - And my gosh it enhances it like a charm!

However when I tried to install the announcement packs the file directories are fairly different to the steam version of the game. I kept trying to install this via Xbox Games > Train Sim World 5... However there's separate folders for the routes in that folder and if anyone else does mod using this platform to give me a quick run down I'd be extremely grateful.

As they come with a content & binaries folder. I followed the steps to put them in the WinGDK Folder rather than the win64 folder.

I'm trying to get the announcements to work - as this would just enhance my gameplay but tbh as we're 5 train world's into the series. I think it's about we start to have train announcements and they have been introduced before. DTG should pay these modders to get a hold of the announcements unless it's a licensing issue they could still create their own.

 

I can answer this, but I'm not a modder (yet). I am also a user of Microsoft store compatible mods and instead of installing them on the TSW5 folder, I put them in the specific DLC it works for, so say a PIS mod for ECML. I would start with Xbox games -> East Coast Mainline -> TSW2 prototype -> Content -> DLC. This normally works for me this way. I have never tried to download announcements though as they normally require Steam and Soundpad.

 

Yeah, I think it's all to do with the file directory but understanding where to put the "content" folder & "binaries" folder in the TSW5 directory was quite difficult.

I've actually got the LNWR branding and signage mod which did require me to go into this directory, but I ended up getting so confused with installing the Audio

Wouldn't the sound pad be essentially a playlist with a key-bind for next station annoucement? You should be able to run that fine I haven't had any issues using a soundpad but automatic announcements are very tricky to install.

 

Same. I can't wait for the WCML Enhancement pack coming out. Not too sure about sound pad as I've never used it before.

 

Just waiting for our fellow Microsoft store modders to keep an eye out on this thread

 

To install Automatic Train Announcements for the Microsoft/Xbox store version, follow these steps:

1. Copy the contents of "WindowsNoEditor\TS2Prototype\Binaries\Win64" to "XboxGames\Train Sim World- 5\Content\TS2Prototype\Binaries\WinGDK"
2. Copy the file "WindowsNoEditor\TS2Prototype\Content\DLC\AutoAnnouncer.pak" to "XboxGames\Train Sim World- 5\Content\TS2Prototype\Content\Paks"

Make sure you have the latest version of the mod as older versions will not work.

 

Thank you. I actually downloaded this mod today, but haven't tested it yet.

 

I'm going to install it this evening, I've been working a lot this week so I'll keep you updated! Thank you for the help!

 

Works absolutely perfectly now - thanks a lot!
